Hello Doctor, my father is 70 years old and suffers from diabetes, cholestrol, triglycerides, dementia and non alcoholic fatty liver. Of late, fasting sugar levels have reached above 250 and triglycerides above 400, without any change in medications. This has also lead to high SGPT/SGOT. I observed swelling in both feet alongwith stomach bloating. He is very dull nowadays and always sleepy.Kindly guide what could be the reason and how to overcome this.
Ans: Your father must be having Metabolic acidosis with electrolyte imbalance particularly Sodium which makes him dull
Please consult a Physician to regulate his Sugar may be through interim short term Insulin
